Network Engineer III for the IP Access and Transport (IPAT) engineering team at the Charter Communications Service Provider laboratory at the Denver Technological Center (DTC) involving Layer 1 and 2 devices from a variety of vendors such as Cisco, Juniper, Alcatel-Lucent, Telco, HUAWEI being tested for use on Charter production networks. Performed research on devices under test, replicated Charter production networks by building test beds in the Charter lab environment, including cabling and configuring devices under test for existing and future use on Charter production networks. • In preparation for Charter’s move to a new laboratory in Denver, audited and documented over 130 network devices, created a device list spreadsheet listing each device’s identification (vendor, model, serial number, IP addresses, label name, hostname, rack location), physical characteristics (rack unit height, width, depth, weight, airflow) and power requirements (BTU, voltage, current and power consumption ratings, power supply numbers and connector types). Created cable interconnect sheets (wire run sheets) showing every cable link type (singlemode fiber, multimode fiber, Cat5e copper, coax, etc.) and connector type (LC-to-LC, SC-to-LC, RJ45-to-RJ45, etc.) on all devices. This information ensured 100% identification of each device during move, proper rack space, power and cooling were available, and that each device was properly reconnected in the new network lab at Charter Technological and Evaluation Center (CTEC) in Denver. • At my manager’s request, created a network interconnection drawing of the 5 separate networks (West Development, East Development, Backbone, Video Development and Pre-Production) within Charter’s old lab that included all interconnecting port numbers and IPv4 and IPv6 addresses. Updated this old network drawing to reflect the new network my engineering team will be responsible for at Charter’s new Technological and Evaluation Center (CTEC) lab. • Received laudatory comments from various Charter managers for my documents that will be used by our engineering team members, lab mangers and equipment installers here at Denver and by Charter teams moving from St. Louis to our new lab in Denver.
